Gormley at White Cube

For the period through to the end of May, White Cube will be showing
works by one of the world’s most recognised sculptors, Antony
Gormley. His new work, ‘Clearing’ at White Cube, is composed of
7 km of rod that flies through the space as an endless matrix. On
the Upper Floor at White Cube can be found three figurative forms,
based on the human body, which are positioned in the white space,
constructed entirely out of steel cubes. Another hunching figure
appears reminiscent of Guantanamo Bay prisoners. It seems likely
that the human predicament in Iraq will next challenge Gormley’s
perception.
